about

“This is a song I wrote about my girl friend that I'd like to dedicate to my wife” (snare and high hat hit). I wish I could say this was my line but as we often do in the trade...we steal. You might say that I stole from myself on this song. I lifted a few lyric ideas from a two decades old song and wrote the song I wished I'd have written back then. Back when I had a full head of hair, before age and experience had carved themselves into my visage, and I was much more marketable. No regrets though, I didn't have the 'goods' then that I do now and no doubt the influence on me of old school R&B/Soul has evolved as I've grown into the music.

Verse
A pretty girl I'll see
Will remind me of you
Might be the color of her hair or the way she walks
Think only of you
It never ends though we did part
There'll always be a place for you in my heart

Chorus
You were everything
All I ever wanted
All I'll ever need
You meant everything to me

Verse
When I see two lovers strollin' hand in hand
It reminds me of being with you
So complete and happy together
That once upon a time with you
I know as the days unwind
You'll never be far from my mind

Chorus

Bridge 1
I'll always wonder what would have been
If we still had what we had then
When I was yours and you were mine
But there's no going back in time
It's gone
Still I'm holdin' on
To yesterday
Holdin' on to yesterday

Verse
When I'm in the arms of someone new
I close my eyes and I see you
More and more as the days go by...

Bridge 2
It comes as no surprise
Cause in my heart I realize
It's hard letting go
Of a once in a lifetime

Chorus
You were everything
All I ever wanted
All I'll ever need
You meant everything
My once upon a life time fling
You meant everything to me
